At this moment, two outsiders were blending in with the crowd of rescue teams.
However, everyone was so focused on the rescue that they were oblivious to the
duo's presence. Their eyes fixed on Ethan in the snowy field revealed their
murderous intent.
“Mr. Quarles, the situation is worse than anticipated. There are over twenty
people trapped below. We must set off explosives to make a path, but it may
trigger other reactions. Because of that, we haven't decided on what to do next.”
“Assess and execute the most favorable plan,” Ethan commanded.
“Yes, Mr. Quarles.” As Ethan took a deep breath, the bright white snow reflected
on his handsome face, making his calm and composed demeanor stand out. “Mr.
Quarles, there's a natural cave entrance on the back mountain. We can enter
from there, but we aren't entirely sure if it's safe. We dare not go in recklessly.”
Ethan, who had many years worth of exploration experience, was perhaps more
qualified than the engineers here. He turned to his assistant, Jacques, and
ordered, “Jacques, please get me a set of equipment.”
Jacques’ face paled with fear. “Mr. Ethan, you can't go in there.”
“It's urgent. We can't afford to worry about everything now. There are over twenty
lives in there waiting for me to rescue them.” Ethan only made this decision after
careful consideration. “But-"
“No buts. Hurry, Ethan instructed in a low voice. Reluctantly, Jacques and one of
the bodyguards went to retrieve the expedition. equipment. Meanwhile, the chief
engineer, King, took the opportunity to advise Ethan, “Mr. Quarles, you don’t
have to walk into danger yourself. Please let the rescue team handle the rescue
mission. You are too important to do something like this.”
“I have eight years of experience in exploration. I am more capable of handling
unexpected events than anyone here. I'm going in, Ethan insisted. King felt
deeply moved when he heard that. This was the most humane employer he had
ever worked for.
“In that case, please be careful, Mr. Quarles. I will oversee the rescue on land.”
Jacques soon brought two sets of equipment over, to which Ethan frowned after
examining them. “You're going in too?”
“Wherever you are, I'll be there, Mr. Quarles.” Jacques huffed, “I can't leave you
alone.” Ethan, however, spoke in all seriousness. “You don’t have the experience
in this. You can't go in. Stay here.”
Jacques was sullen after hearing that.. However, the bodyguard beside him took
the equipment out of his hands. “I will go with Mr. Quarles.”
Six other bodyguards behind him had already prepared their equipment. They
were Ethan's accompanying team. When two men hiding not far away watched
as Ethan prepared to go in for the rescue, they exchanged glances with a hint of
delight in their eyes.
They had finally waited for the perfect opportunity. Ethan would personally
participate in the rescue mission for the disaster that was actually the two men’s
doing. They had installed a powerful explosive at the entrance of the cave,
causing it to collapse..
Their initial plan was to draw the main forces of the base to this location so that it
would be easier for them to assassinate Ethan if he remained in the base. They
hadn't anticipated that Ethan would personally participate in the rescue.
Even though Jacques was worried, he knew he couldn't persuade Ethan. He
could only step forward and remind, “Mr. Ethan, please be careful. You must
come out immediately if it gets dangerous.”
“I know,” Ethan replied. He was aware that this rescue mission carried risks, but
there were over twenty workers still trapped underground. He wanted to help as
long as he could be of assistance.
Over twenty people set off from the rear cave entrance for the rescue. They took
the lead and entered the cave, while Ethan, accompanied by the six bodyguards,
descended into the cavern using a suspension rope.
